Maybe everyone gets lucky and you end up bleeding to death from being literal.

Comment Unlimited Immigration, we were told, would make ev (Score -1, Flamebait) 270

I remember that for years we were being told immigration has to be good so more immigration can only be even more betterer.

Even before Brexit, the UK was one of the top destinations for immigration, which only skyrocketed after.
So how can this be that they are in such shambles and dire straits if unlimited immigration would make the whole UK stonk like crazy?

You are comparing apples and oranges. Your dad already owns those places and pays close to nothing for owning them.
The people going hogwild on tenants are the ones who got crazy credit payments every month, they do not actually own anything (yet), they just saw the generational door for ever becoming mildly rich closing so they ran for it and grabbed whatever properties they could claw up and sold their soul to the banks for it. The bank can only win, and the landlord hassles the tenant because the gun is against the head of the landlord. That is how properties only ever eventually shift upward and more and more assets are held in fewer and fewer hands.
Housing and water should have never become crazy leveraged investments, they are too essential.

So it could spit out a little chat app, amazing!

What you really need to be able to do is fine-tune minute details while the rest of the application reliably stays the same and you reliably get the same code every time you let that thing run, because Bob is gonna want a little icon here and Lisa does not understand how to share the screen so we got to change that function there, Coolboys macOS suddenly has new privacy features we need to handle, and then MrManager wants a super managerial lets-call-it-observability feature for all his underlings eeh employees, and thenâ¦

Troubleshooting, fixing bugs and adding new features while removing others, and the whole code maintenance, upgrading of dependencies and all that. Show us THAT!

Just dumping a steaming pile of 0.1 that mildly does SOMETHING is the real easy part. Rapid-prototyping wizards/frameworks could do that a while ago.

Comment You did not teach them the last time (Score 3, Insightful) 84

Netflix stopped allowing generally shared accounts and raised prices. And they had more subscribers as an end result. They all raised prices and made conditions worse for you, their numbers are still rising.

You lost the existing power struggle every time so far, so now they all keep going with their BS to squeeze every last dime out of you until an actual backlash happens.

No matter what tribe you belong to, this tribalism is horrendous on BOTH sides of the great divide and one side has been extremely busy making everything into a political statement as part of their progression; so now everything IS political and is seen and attacked as such. One side has dissolved objective reality and hard facts and replaced it with emotional angles and what feels good and feels right. So now everything is up for interpretation and up to everyoneâ(TM)s individual emotion. One side has replaced truth with activism, so now everything is subject to political activism for the sake of activism and tribalism. You just do not like who is currently pushing the levers after your tribe has been pushing them for so long.
The actual issue is less who has current control of these levers; the issue is these topics should have never been full of political emotional activism and these lever should have never been created in the first place. YOU caused this, YOU made this possible.

You are describing what is essentially the dark age of technology and the inability of admech to invent anything and instead rely on religious dogma to keep existing machines running because they cannot create new ones in w40k.

What you forgot, however, is the salami tactic that is going on. They will create seemingly stupid rules in one corner, and will slowly creep these in. Once established, they will then create the really radical changes and regulations and they will claim these are not new, just trying to enforce already existing rules⦠so there cannot be any discussion or vote about it since all the rules are already in place. They are slowly setting up the gank in a way few people notice or care, and once all pieces are in place the real execution will start.
You will see protocols and technologies forbidden, broken and infiltrated, and any other ideas that currently seem entirely insane and impossible.
